About once a year or once every few years something crazy happens at a show. A band can't play because someone gets sick, hurt, visa's or whatever. Well last night something happened to Lazarus AD but no one seemed to know what it was. They didn't play and instead we were treated to an Evening with Cavalera Conspiracy. I was thinking we saw the perfect set with everything they've played over the past few years but for some reason they left Propaganda off the setlist. If it wasn't for that this setlist would have been the Best of 2011 for me so far. Igor was an absolute MONSTER only flubbing on Territory but pounding the crowd into submission all night. Marc Rizzo might be one of the most underrated Guitarists out there. He was flawless all night and had he been mixed a little louder would have been the highlight of the night. That distinction goes to Max Cavalera. What a fucking ringleader this guy is. He could have pulled a Mustaine and played an abbreviated set to get out of town early but instead they pulled out all the stops and had that place electrified for almost 2 hours. An incredible show that I'm so glad I went to...

Turns out that dude is Ritchie Cavalera, Max's stepson. He is the guest vocalist on the album version. Tripped me out buying a shirt from Ritchie in Denver and not realizing who he was til after the show.

According to their facebook, they've been having issues with their van. Which is terrible, because they fucking destroyed it in Denver last week.

That's awesome of Cavalera Conspiracy to step up and add some Nailbomb and Black Flag into the set. For the record, Igor's drumset is the most BEASTY drumset I've seen. Not a lot of pieces, but he has floor toms mounted as rack toms. The shiny glitter with Rasputin & Genghis Khan on the kick drums, I loved the drumset and the fucking band. Holy fucking shitballs.

Correct on all accounts. Ritchie was manning the Merch table and I thought he looked familiar and kept seeing people going up and shaking his hand. Dude can BELT too! His parts in that sing are brutal as hell.

Igor's drumset was so bad ass. I figured someone else was going to play the tribal drum parts but he had them set up on the side up high and beat the shit outta them during those parts. One of my favorite drummers...

Damn, I wish I had of went to the Cavalera Conspiracy show on the 30th of april. I really didn't think Igor was going to show up. Especially since he was a NO-show for the Hollywood gig. But it turns out he ended up making it for the Anaheim show on the 30th
